It was the custom of the Milton Conglomerate to hold various charity events every year. However, in the past three years, the company had been unable to host as much of these events as they used to due to the losses they accrued when Cade disappeared. Now though, that Cade was back and had restored the company's glory, there was going to be a charity event. The year before Cade's disappearance, the charity event that the company held was in honour of people who had lupus. A fundraiser was done for people in the company with the disease, and some other beneficiaries. The events usually get honoured by the presence of high profile men, influential women and important people all around the country, and it was usually a huge success because of the presence of these people. This year, Cade had decided the event would be held in honour of children with leukaemia and anaemia. All the money made would go into free medical care for as many children as the program could take.The end of the yea
"Alex bought a penthouse instead of some old building your father was expecting him to buy. Your father was angry because of that. He hadn’t known then that Alex planned to move out of the house and he saw that expense as unnecessary, so they argued a few times." Cassandra replied with a shrug. "Oh."So his father hadn’t told him the complete truth. Alex hadn’t bought the building after all but as usual, he lavishly spent so much money on something that wasn’t related to business at all. So why was his father trying to convince him that Alex was more business oriented now? Was hs just doing that so Akex would be called back to work at Milton? And if Alex no longer purchased Mr Roberts building, then how come he wrote a cheque to Mr Roberts with the same sum? Was that cheque planted in the car as fake evidence on purpose?"Like, why would Mackenzie want my son to buy some retarded building just because Alex showed interest in it? Yes, he showed interest at first, but soon changed his
As soon as Cade left, his father descended the steps and grabbed Cassandra’s hand.“Are you crazy? Why didn’t you tell me he was here?” He yelled at her.“Let go of me! He asked to see me. Am I now a prisoner? Can’t I have visitors?” She yelled back and removed her hand from his hold.“Besides, I didn’t ask him to come here, he just showed up.”“He already questioned me and you just undid everything I said to him. Do you even realise that Alex is a suspect in Mr Roberts murder? Yet you just told Cade that Alex had threatened the man.”“That doesn’t mean Alex killed him! Besides, the man deserved death anyway. How dare he refuse to sell his useless property to my son.” She huffed.“If anything happens and Alex is found guilty of the crime, make sure you all count me out of it. I wish that boy was born with even half the brain Cade has. My life would be easier.” Mackenzie said and Cassandra’s anger multiplied.“How dare you compare my son to that fool?! My son is a hundred times better
Cade tried his best to stay focused for the rest of the event. He was surprised at how disorganized he had become. It was unlike him to lose his shit, especially when it had to do with a woman. He retained his sanity when Hailey, a very sexy woman, stripped naked in front of him. Yes, he had been a little surprised, if not a little turned on, he admitted, but he wasn’t rattled by the woman's body the way he was nervous now after meeting Raegan again. The last time they met, he was not so taken by her beauty because of the dire situation they had been in, and also because she looked so simple back then so she could blend in and not be noticed. If anything, he just agreed to have drinks with her because she asked, and because he wanted to be nice to someone trying to thank him for saving her life. But not today. Today, however, he could not take his eyes off the lady when her father tried to introduce her, and even when she walked away to her seat. He could see that was an exquisitely b
Gale's attempt at trying to reunite Cade and the president's daughter failed. He had written several times to the president to request a meeting with his daughter. His requests were not met, neither were his emails read. The truth of the matter was that Gale had been writing to an obsolete email without even knowing it. If only he knew about this error and channeled his requests to the right e-mail, then Cade and Raegan may have had an opportunity to meet and become friends by now at least. He gave up on his attempts. He would just have to find another way to help his boss.But the help he was seeking came to Gale on a platter of gold. The president himself reached out to Cade himself, requesting a meeting with Cade at the presidential villa. The reason the president was requesting Cade's presence at the presidential villa was to organize a dinner date for Cade and his daughter, and even though neither Cade nor Gale knew about it, Gale thought it was an excellent opportunity for Cade
Raegan led the way and they went to the garden. The walk to the garden was plagued with an awkward air so that Raegan began to hum a song and Cade followed suit, humming a different song and they both produced a disastrous melody together. The beginning of the date was even more awkward and disastrous than the walk had been. They got to the garden and Cade saw that as the president had said, it was decorated in the most romantic way he had seen. He wondered why the president had done this. He would ask Raegan. They sat down and settled into the environment. Cade cleared his throat. He wondered what to say. Raegan picked a shrimp from one of the plates on the table and crunched loudly on it. Cade did not know how to react to this. She also hadn’t answered his question on if she would be willing to listen to his explanation."So?" Raegan began. "Do you really have a valid reason why you stood me up that day?" She asked."I'm sorry. I totally forgot. You know my story about how I was mis
Cassandra had told her son of how Cade came to question her. She did not know what Cade was up to with his questions, but she knew it would be no good for her son. Alex was utterly angered by the information from his mother. What was Cade's fucking business in this matter? He knew too, that Cade was up to something. He is always up to something, isn't he? Alex did not want to tell himself the truth: he knew why Cade had interviewed his mother. And even though his mother did not know what reason Cade had come to her for, he could very much tell that Cade knew something he was not supposed to know. And for this, he thought Cade deserved to die. Cade was being too inquisitive, too determined. And Alex knew that if Cade found something new out, Cade would stop at nothing to expose him. "We have to take Cade out. This time, for real and for all." Alex said to his mother while he stomped around the room, pointing his fingers with every word he said. "Calm down, baby," Cassandra pleaded. "
The bullet went through Cade’s left arm and he groaned in pain. His guards immediately stepped forward to apprehend Alex or possibly beat the living daylights out of the boy but once again, they were held back by Cade. “You’re just a spineless bastard, Alex. You can’t beat me and you know it. That’s why you came here to throw a childish tantrum. Did you really think I would be afraid of you just because you brought a gun?” Cade asked and laughed.Alex’s face got red with embarrassment while Cade’s security guards were marvelled by Cade’s bravery and fearlessness. They didn’t understand why Cade didn’t want them to deal with Alex but they respected his decision. Alex was the one who looked weak to them. “Fuck you Cade!” Alex said and ran out of the place.Akex was furious. He hadn’t come there to kill Cade, but he wanted to at least intimidate Cade or make Cade afraid. But Cade had laughed at him and it made him even more furious. Now he wanted to kill Cade by all means but after thi
